I have a 1,100,000 gallon koi pond, just built it last year - I posted it on the main board as a seperate post - check it out - is yours bigger? As far as biggest tank, I only have a 120 gallon tank right now, but I have a 1500 gallon in the works - It will be up mid may, I can't wait - I'll defiently post pics.

mygatt, i think you got your numbers wrong... do you realize your koi pond, if it is 1 million 1 hundred thousand gallons, is bigger than 4 olympic size swimmiong pools?, sorry, i just have a hard time believing it, and i've seen the pics of it, it doesn't look that big...

its the depth that does it, it is 35 feet deep, it is very decieving, I had to go deep , because I needed alot of fill and could only make my pond this size because any bigger and it would have been out of specs and would have been too close to my septic, or to close to the golf course and other property for code - which meant instead of digging left, right, I had to dig straight down, 36 feet straight down to be exact.

I found the calculation - length x width x depth = then multiply by 7.5 because there is 7.5 gallons in a cubic foot of water.
approximation = 90 feet length x's 55 feet width x's just say 30 feet deep = 148,500 x's 7.5 = 1,113,750

what?? that can't be... cuz think about it, a gallon of water, like at a store, that comes in the jug is about 1 square foot, and i have a better way to tell, take length in inches times width in inches times depth in inches, and divide by either 233 or 236, i forget., my calculator can't tell that many digits can you tell me what that comes out to?
432x1080x660= (blank) divided by 236

ya, you're right? it doesn't make sense but it is true - I found a site that calculates pool size - click here ---> http://www.saltwaterchlorinators.com...l_capacity.htm
I agree with you - when you put it that way it doesn't make sense - but I did the calculation in this website designed for pools and it came out? so i do not know - I will contact my friend tomorrow and get the exact way he figured it out - anythings possible - maybe I misheard him or whatever - but I do not think so.

I said it wrong it is volume = 7.48 gallons, not 1 cubic foot = 7.48 gallons and volume is calculated by taking length x width x how deep it is - so my calculations - I am pretty sure is right - I have a headache doing calculations

it still seems wrong to me, i'm a swimmer, and i swim in an olympic size pool, it is 150 feet long, by 20 feet wide, by 4feet at shallowest, 14feet at deepest
and it doesn't seem like your pound could be over 4 of those...
